What is the State Horticulture Mission subsidy for mushroom farming?
State Horticulture Mission (SHM) is the state-level implementation of MIDH that funds mushroom production units with 40% capital subsidy (50% in NE/hilly states), often topped up by state schemes. Subsidy is released directly to the promoter's bank account in tranches against verified construction milestones.

Subsidy Stack — How to Maximise Funding
- Layer 1: Central MIDH 40% (50% NE/hilly) — apply via State Horticulture Department
- Layer 2: State top-up 5–15% — automatic in some states (UP, HP, Bihar), application-based in others
- Layer 3: Category bonus — additional 5–10% for SC/ST/women/FPO entrepreneurs in select states
- Layer 4: Bank term loan — 60–70% of project cost from NABARD-refinanced banks (SBI, BoB, PNB, RRBs)
- Result: Promoter contribution often drops to 25–35% with full stack — DPR + bankable BOQ is the key unlock
